What is Bubble?

Bubble is for people who want to publish to the web in high style and use the earth’s latest tools to connect with the outer world.
Bubble is mashup website kit consisting of a blog component, a gallery component, a connection component (featuring everything from Flickr feeds to online Chat status), a profile component AND Bubble Machina (what boring people call Content Management System) the tool you'll need to keep you publishing easily, fast and often. Bubble is not a template, it's a plug 'n' play website archetype/design service to get you up and running fast at an astronomically low price. Find out more.

Why is Bubble?

Bubble is a commercial product developed by Jeff Faulkner, (owner of deepPlay) the guy who has been bringing you adward-winning sites for the last 10 years on behalf of Museum of Modern Art, Virgin, Nike, Macromedia (and so on). Bubble was born out of a lingering frustration over the time and cost barriers of website development. When Jeff found he was turning down the work he wanted and taking the work he “needed” based on budgets and timing he created a product and company that could be assembled in under 2 weeks, would look and work fantastic and be something customers could easily update, but more to the point, this is something they would actually enjoy doing and therefore do with creativity. And do it all for a price real people can afford.

How much is Bubble?

As a top-end boutique shop deepPlay has created sites on average for 50k a pop over the last 5 years. But Bubble is a more complete system than any of deepPlay’s previous efforts AND it makes use of the latest technolgy including ajax, Flash, Fuse, css, wordPress, Blogger, Flickr, LightBox and the Bubble Machina publishing system all for under 10k.

Break it down, gently...

Bubble is a complete website based on some real basic principles such as, make it easy to use, make it fun to use, make it easy to update, make it fun to update. Make it about the author (that's you) and not the designers (that's us). Make it efficient and slim. Make it honestly reflect the content within and not simply be a nice looking template anyone can have. Make it for a price you can afford. Make it be something desirable and not just another nagging voice in your life. Bubble is here to get you authoring on the web easily and enjoyably.

Photographer and now person, Andy Batt recently took his Bubble site online. This is a perfect example of how well this system can empower a small business/creative professional to get the message out there and look good doing it. Development time took 2 weeks! If you'd like to talk with us about getting a site like Andy's up and running for your own business drop Lori a note.
